They could be sweet and poignant but many times were just hilarious. It's a shame more people didn't get to see it." - Roger Newcomb

DUO: Jesse Hubbard & Jenny GardnerSHOW: ALL MY CHILDRENRANK: 19PLAYED BY:Jesse: Darnell WilliiamsJenny: Kim DelaneyYEARS: 1981-1984, 1994 (as ghosts)COMMENT:"The gold standard for platonic male/female friendships on soaps, and a step forward in that race played very little, if any, of a role in their friendship.Their support for each other was heartwarming." - Patrick Erwin

The Dynamic Duos list was compiled with input from the We Love Soaps staff as well as some friends in the industry--Patrick Erwin, Jonathan Reiner and Connie Passalacqua Hayman (Marlena De Lacroix).

How could I forget Vicki & Marley?! They were fabulous and Anne Heche was a revelation in the roles. Heche is a great actress and one of the best ever in daytime. I agree with Roger that her work in her final year on AW is impeccable. Ellen Wheeler was very good but Heche eclipsed all other performers in the roles.
